Are we
overplaying the importance of technology
in the sports space today at the expense of better and more-engaged personal
experiences?
“I believe in the power of personal, live experiences to build
the business and profits of sponsors. We know technology is one tool to
accomplish those goals, but we use technology to facilitate personal
experience, not as an end. We have seen companies invest considerable dollars
in digital opportunities without a clear focus. Most of those efforts fail because
they are not grounded in building enriched personal experiences. As long as we
think of technology as the destination, we are overplaying the importance.”
